Pro Tips

  1. 1.Book your session online in advance, especially for weekends, as this popular venue fills up quickly with both locals and tourists.
  2. 2.Arrive 15-20 minutes early to complete safety briefings and waiver forms. International visitors should bring valid ID or passports for registration.
  3. 3.Wear closed-toe shoes (required for safety) and comfortable clothes. The facility can get warm, so dress in layers and bring water bottles.
  4. 4.Visit the Centurion Mall before or after your race session for restrooms, food courts, and shopping, making it easy to plan a full day out.
  5. 5.Ask about family packages or group discounts if you have multiple children racing, as these can offer better value than individual sessions.

Best Time to Visit

Weekday mornings (10:00 AM to 12:00 PM) offer the shortest wait times and cooler temperatures for the outdoor track. Avoid Saturday afternoons when birthday parties and local racing leagues make the venue busiest. South African winter months (June to August) provide the most comfortable racing conditions.

What to Know

Sessions are moderately priced ($$) and typically sold by race duration. Free parking is available at Centurion Mall. The venue has safety equipment provided, but closed-toe shoes are mandatory. Food and drinks are available in the mall food court adjacent to the facility.

Seasonal Notes

Open year-round with consistent hours. The outdoor track may occasionally close during heavy rain (more common in summer months from November to March), but the indoor track remains operational. School holidays see increased crowds, so book ahead during South African vacation periods (December/January, April, July).

Nearby Eats

Centurion Mall houses a large food court with international chains and local South African options perfect for families. For a sit-down meal, try Ocean Basket for kid-friendly seafood or Mugg & Bean, a popular South African chain offering burgers, pastas, and generous portions that work well for hungry racers.
